The metal processing industry has always been a "tough nut to crack" in the industrial sector. From precision mold manufacturing to large-scale mechanical part processing, it has nearly stringent requirements for the precision and efficiency of equipment. The emergence of lead screw electric cylinders, however, is like a precise "scalpel", bringing a qualitative leap to metal processing equipment and making precision and efficiency no longer a difficult problem to balance.
On the basis of ensuring precision, efficiency is the key for enterprises to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness. Metal processing equipment often needs to complete frequent actions such as starting, stopping, reversing, and feeding. The efficiency of these actions directly affects the overall production cycle. The high-efficiency characteristics of lead screw electric cylinders precisely align with the "rhythm" of the production pace.
On one hand, lead screw electric cylinders have an extremely fast response speed.
In traditional pneumatic or hydraulic drive systems, energy transmission relies on media (gas or liquid), which leads to a certain degree of lag. It usually takes hundreds of milliseconds or even longer for the equipment to execute an action after the command is issued. In contrast, lead screw electric cylinders are directly driven by motors, with almost no delay in command transmission. Their millisecond-level response speed enables the equipment to quickly switch between actions.
For example, in the automatic loading and unloading process, the manipulator driven by lead screw electric cylinders can instantly complete the entire set of actions including "grabbing - lifting - moving - placing", saving more than 30% of the time compared with traditional drive methods and significantly shortening the workpiece turnover cycle.
On the other hand, lead screw electric cylinders have strong controllability of running speed.
Lead screw electric cylinders can flexibly adjust the movement speed according to processing needs. They can operate at high speed during the rough machining stage to quickly remove excess metal materials; when entering the finish machining stage, they automatically switch to a low-speed and stable mode to ensure processing precision.
This "combination of high and low speed" operation mode avoids the "one-size-fits-all" speed limitation of traditional equipment, allowing each process to proceed at the most suitable rhythm. Taking lathe processing as an example, the tool post driven by lead screw electric cylinders feeds at high speed when turning the blank, which improves efficiency compared with traditional equipment; when processing the precision part of the component, it automatically decelerates to ensure dimensional accuracy, and the overall processing efficiency can be increased by 15%-20%.The metal processing industry has always been a "tough nut to crack" in the industrial sector.
